Supernatural Death Note

Chapter One Hundred: Good Times

Dean replied to Sarah's comment, "It wasn't, but it wasn't for Sam either. Oh, and if I act like a fool or a big kid, and I embarrass the daylights out of you, it's because I never got to be a little one and sometimes the little guy escapes. Just... at the most inopportune moments." Dean winked at his brother.

She laughed. "Not a problem."

The man on the couch beside her murmured, "Don't bet on it." Dean started laughing hard.

The girls giggled at that.

"You've been forewarned by the culprit and the brother who has had to deal with it."

"I'm sure Sam gave it back just as much as you gave it," Sarah grinned.

Dean looked sad and said, "Only once in a while. Wish he had though."

"We'll make sure he does then."

"No super glue."

Sam started laughing at that.

"Hey, you won fair and square with that one. I'm only admitting it now. It's fun to think back on though. You and the itching powder. Man, I thought you were going to strip in the restaurant. But super glue to the beer bottle? Hell, I still check beer bottles before I pick them up."

The laughter grew louder at that.

Dean felt at peace for the first time in a long time. "I have to start walking according to the doctor. Would you guys like to walk with me and start looking over the property?"

"Sure," Sam said with a grin.

"Lisa, Sarah? Or are the snakes too scary?"

The two women looked at each other. "You are going armed.. right?"

Dean looked at his brother, knowing they would both be carrying guns with bullets, and with rock salt. "Yeah, we'll be armed."

"Then we'll go with you. We see a snake though, all bets are off," Lisa said.

"I'll protect you, Lis."

"Darn well better," she grinned.

"Of course I will. I thought early in the morning before it gets too hot."

The walks became a daily habit for the foursome. Ben would join them at times, but had his own interests also. Six months passed, along with a number of changes. The cabin was almost finished. Everyone was healthy. Dean and Sam had opened Winchester's Garage and Car Lot on the main highway that fronted their property. It wasn't long before people in the surrounding areas discovered them. Dean was honest about repairs, and an honest mechanic was a rarity in most peoples' minds. Sam was running the office and Bobby was doing the sales, helping Dean when he was backed up.

Dean had scheduled some things. They needed furniture, dishes, and a large number of things. He'd done another hunt for L. He and Sam met Mello in Philadelphia. A serial killer had had a strange M.O. L asked the boys to investigate it. Mello was their partner and liaison. It ended up being a shape shifter who had turned to cannibalism. The pay had been excellent, and Dean had plans for it.

L had checked up on both of them, as had Watari, and followed up with counseling whenever the two felt they had needed it. He could say that the two were doing very well.

Dean had started school online, but was also taking a course on diesel mechanics twice a week in the city. The course required that he be gone all day on the Tuesdays and Thursdays. Lisa learned automotive sales and covered for Bobby who covered for Dean.
